Soul Alley by J.R. McRae

Boots in

the sky

Free footing it

High over

the wires

Ballet pumps

let loose

Shoes on

the sky way

Sneakers

scuffing cloud

Canvas loafers

floating

Kid shoes

lost…

Barefoot

at a cost.

Choosing Shoes by Pat Simmons

Gum boots when it’s raining

Sports shoes when I’m training

Sparkly shoes for dancing

Riding boots for prancing

Sandals for a summer’s day

High heeled shoes for dress up play

Then sadly comes that time of year

When Mum says, ‘Let’s go shopping dear.

Your feet keep growing, time to choose

A nice new pair of (yuk!) School Shoes.’
